Key technical areas include powertrain choices, towing and payload ratings, exterior dimensions, interior configurations, technology, safety systems, and model-specific equipment.
Powertrain and performance configurations
The 2027 Ford Transit® offers gas and electric powertrain choices across its four-model lineup. Cargo Van and Passenger Van models can use a 3.5-liter port fuel direct injection V6 or a 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6. Gas-powered configurations pair these engine choices with a 25-gallon fuel tank or an available 31-gallon extended-range fuel tank. Rear-wheel drive serves as the standard drive configuration, while Intelligent All-Wheel Drive is available on the gas-powered 2027 Ford Transit® models. The E-Transit™ Cargo Van combines an electric motor with rear-wheel drive and a front-facing charging port. These alternatives allow buyers to select a propulsion system according to passenger capacity, cargo needs, driving range, and equipment requirements.
Gas engine choices and drivetrain equipment
The available 3.5-liter PFDi V6 provides one of the two gas-engine choices for the 2027 Ford Transit®. The available 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 provides another option for Cargo Van and Passenger Van configurations. Ford lists output of up to 300 horsepower for the 2027 Ford Transit® lineup. A properly configured Transit® Cargo Van can tow up to 6,900 pounds, while Transit® Passenger Van XL and XLT models can tow up to 4,500 pounds.

These engine, fuel-tank, and towing choices allow operators to align a van with its expected transportation duties.
Available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive helps maximize traction and enhance handling. Ford integrates the system without raising the load floor or seat height, preserving the van’s cargo and passenger packaging. Selectable Drive Modes allow the driver to choose settings for different driving conditions. The system adjusts vehicle settings according to the selected mode. Rear-wheel drive remains standard for the gas-powered 2027 Ford Transit® lineup.
